[Popular Opinion] Federated social networks are more enjoyable than corporate ones

Corporate online social networks ultimately aim to increase profits, so they inevitably enshitify themselves. Meanwhile, the federated system allows users to switch instances or even create their own should their current main instance become unappealing. It also allows users to join several instances simultaneously, allowing...

SameOldInternet,

I disagree. I find the federated networks to be self cannibalizing closed off ecosystems that craft themselves into something worst than any “corporate” social network. Don’t get me wrong and think I’m a fan of traditional social networks. I’ve just come to understand that the federated universe of social networks is not what they made themselves out to be. They’re controlled by small groups with barely any transparency on security and privacy and little ability to protect users from the dangers of the Internet. These servers are run by a handful of individuals who answer to no one. The federated networks have become a haven for misinformation and bigotry on a level that rival the mainstream social networks. The content shared is usually just taken from other networks or so obscure they barely generate any engagement. Etc, etc… TLDR, it’s just worst here.

SameOldInternet,

Stop lying and just say you’re racist.

SameOldInternet,

They said Google has a monopoly using their own Jio virtual carrier. They never said Jio doesn’t support RCS.

SameOldInternet,

I really wouldn’t know. In this context I assume it means it is not deployed like traditional mobile networks are. The missing components being the hardware side like putting up towers etc.

SameOldInternet,

Started using UEFI booting with secure boot. Much easier to fix and work with.

SameOldInternet,

You do realize that mass shootings are categorized on how many are shot and not how many dies. Let’s not also get into the fact that gun violence is still gun violence regardless of the charge. You need to find a new podcast.

SameOldInternet,

This post just shows that the police rarely if ever review any video as this method would’ve been learned as a result of repeatedly reviewing video.

SameOldInternet,

The rules allow any character to wield any weapon. Usually characters weapons are chosen based on race, class, stats, and the whims of the DM.

The Demon King Ganon!

SameOldInternet,

Well excuse me for wanting to save the lives of children, women, elderly, press, humanitarians, etc… We all know the Israeli response is disproportionate and that they never intended to rescue any hostages. Do you really want to keep defending that government?

SameOldInternet,

Laptop support is not where it needs to be especially when it comes to dual GPU.

SameOldInternet,

Yep it’s definitely a thing. For those saying you’re not seeing it, that’s because you’re not blocking it. I use multiple layers of ad blocking but my unlock is set to block third party scripts and frames by default.

Drones can’t negotiate the if they trespass or make accidental contact in uncharted territory.

State Department official resigns over Biden administration's handling of Israel-Hamas conflict | CNN Politics (edition.cnn.com)

Josh Paul, who said he has worked in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs for more than 11 years, said in his LinkedIn post that he resigned “due to a policy disagreement concerning our continued lethal assistance to Israel.”...

SameOldInternet,

It’s not about everyone being “happy”. It’s okay to not get everything you want and be content. The Israeli leadership over the past few decades has been everything but content. For them it has always been all our nothing.

Google Disabling Phone 2 Factor? (lemmy.today)

EDIT: You know, after some time to cool off, Google Authenticator 2FA can still be enabled and isn’t being phased out like the less secure SMS 2FA, so it’s really not the end of the world here. The chance of permanent lockout is avoided, even if the whole Google Prompt system is still wack.

SameOldInternet,

It’s the default because you made it the default. Change your damn security settings Google can’t do that for you! Quick to rant about something without knowing how it works or how you got there is on you and not Google.

SameOldInternet,

I don’t know why it isn’t spelled “superceding” though.

Because supercede is a variant of supersede.

SameOldInternet,

Religion is an ongoing lie.

SameOldInternet,

Why can’t people just look this stuff up. Hamas is not Palestine. They are a militant group created by the UAE and possibly Russia to further their own goals in the region and world. The people of Palestine, actual Palestinians, are victims of both Hamas and Israel and the world needs to stop blaming them for this.

SameOldInternet,

When more than half of the population of the Gaza strip are children and the elderly, any voting is just not legitimate. It’s like saying China runs fair elections.
